NEW! SUPPORT FOR MANAGERS
When training opportunities on EDI, wellness and skill development emerge, they target the larger part of the staff complement in most organizations, which leaves managers out. We've developed seventeen manager-specific modules in 2.5-hour to 3.5-hour allotments, with built-in time for interaction and reflection. These can be offered as stand-alone sessions but should be considered with a long-term implementation plan in mind.
Module descriptions can be found here, and the new 2024 catalogue of services can be downloaded here.

METHOD
The group (of 8-10 physicians) will begin with a brief introduction of participants. One participant will be invited to be the presenter to share a current (or recent) patient experience that has left them feeling conflicted, confused, curious or unfinished. The group will then hold the experience and process it in a way that surfaces multiple perspectives, feelings, images, memories, and considerations. Balint groups are not designed to problem solve but rather to reflect.
